The i7 will definitely help you with photoshop and all of those programs you listed, it depends if you want to pay the extra money.

IMO, get the i5 3550 and get a z77 for future upgradeability and only $2 more (because of free shipping): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157293

Also, you will probably need an HDD in addition to your SSD, but IDK if you already have one so its up to you.

Personally I would get the I5 and spend the extra money on a graphics card or even a sweet case.
